Well, hello there, Mother,โ Sebastian said in a voice like silk. โSurprised to see me?
Cassandra ClareTess, Tess, Tessa. Was there ever a more beautiful sound than your name? To speak it aloud makes my heart ring like a bell. Strange to imagine that, isnโt itโa heart ringing? But when you touch me, that is what it is like, as if my heart is ringing in my chest and the sound shivers down my veins and splinters my bones with joy.
Cassandra ClareWill began to straighten up, to turn away from the bed. And as he did, he felt something wrap tightly around his wrist. He glanced down and saw Jemโs hand braceleting his own. For a moment he was too shocked to do anything but stare. โI am not dead yet, Will,โ Jem said in a soft voice, thin but as strong as wire. โWhat did Magnus mean by asking you if I knew you were in love with Tessa?
Cassandra ClareI wouldn't change it," Simon said. "I wouldn't give up loving you. Not for anything. You know what Raphael told me? That I didn't know how to be a good vampire, that vampires accept that they're dead. But as long as I remember what it was like to love you, I'll always feel like I'm alive.
Cassandra ClareYou may choose your friends, but not your unlikely saviors,โ Magnus said cheerfully.
Cassandra ClareThis was a voice that drew out memories stretched thin by years of recollection, like paper unfolded and refolded too many times. A voice that brought back, like a wave, the memory of another time on this bridge, a night so long ago, everything black and silver and the river rushing away under her feet.
